Anti-Lock Control

What is the Anti-Lock Control Relay all about?

The term “anti-lock control relay” is something of a misnomer. The relay doesn’t operate the controller – the controller operates the relay. The relay itself is responsible for operating the pump, which pressurizes brake fluid in the ABS system’s accumulator. If the relay fails, then the pump will not operate and the fluid pressure in the accumulator will not build. The end result is that the ABS system won’t work.
Essentially, the anti-lock control relay is used to energize the electric pump in some types of ABS systems. This will vary from one system to the next, and is dependent not on the automaker so much as on the manufacturer of the ABS system.
Like other electrical components, the anti-lock control relay is subject to wear and tear. Over time, it’s possible that it will fail, although pump failure is more common than relay failure, and fuse failure is more common than both. In all instances, failure means that the ABS system will stop functioning and the ABS warning light will illuminate in the dash.

Engine   is a device that produces power. It is made by various parts bolted together and they work together to achieve power by burning of fuel. These parts are given below: 1. Cylinder Block: Cylinder block or Cylinder are main part of an engine. It is a part in which combustion of fuel takes place. All other parts like piston, connecting rod, crankshaft, water jacket etc. are bolted on it. 2. Piston: Piston is placed in the cylinder and transmits thrust to the connecting rod. It is free to move. It compresses the air fuel mixture and convert the fuel energy into mechanical energy. It transmits the power to the crankshaft. 3. Cylinder Head: Cylinder head is fitted on the top of cylinder block and the function of the cylinder head is to seal the working end of cylinder and not to permit entry and exit of gases on cover head valves of the engine. The valves, spark plug, camshaft etc are fitted on it. 4. Connecting Rod: It connect piston to t

Sometimes, we wonder if technology is hurting more than helping us, and in some cases, it may be. One way that today?s technology is really helping us is by providing us with many more devices in our vehicles to keep us safe. Throughout the history of motor vehicles, there have been some significant changes. For instance, in the beginning, vehicles didn?t even have seatbelts or windshield wipers. We?ve come a long way since Henry Ford first started rolling cars off the assembly line. Today?s automobiles have all kinds of wonderful features designed to keep you and your loved ones safe. Here are 10 of the top vehicle safety devices you need to be aware of, especially when purchasing a new vehicle: 1 Airbags Some people think that these are actually dangerous, but they have in fact saved many, many lives. There are two main types of air bags, dual stage airbags and side airbags. If needed, the dual stage airbags will go off at different times, one in a minor accident and b
